Island Soul: - A photographic essay

In spite of urbanization and commercialization, the Hawaiian Islands have managed to retain what used to be called “soul:” culture and behavior as spontaneous expressions of humanity.

Each picture in this collection represents a person, place or event that spoke to me in some way, and provided reassurance that Island Soul survives and thrives even in unlikely places.

I hope that viewing them gives you a sense of happiness and harmony, a feeling of Island Soul.

The author first experienced Island Soul in the mid-1950s and has been seeking it out ever since. He spends his time between Hawai'i and the mainland, on or near the ocean.
